Jourdan Provides Corporate Update

Jourdan Provides Corporate Update

TORONTO, April 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jourdan Resources Inc. (TSXV: JOR) (“ Jourdan” or the “Company”) is

pleased to provide the following corporate update on its recent activities. Jourdan has initiated several activities in the field at

its properties in Val d’Or, Quebec and at Process Research Ortech Inc., a materials testing laboratory in Mississauga, Ontario

(“Ortech”). Jourdan is currently planning geophysical surveys at its Pressiac-LaCorne property located in Quebec, consisting

of a magnetic and a scintillometer survey with the intent of detecting the western extension of the Li-bearing pegmatite swarm

known from the North American Lithium mine and from the Company’s Vallée Lithium Project. The surveys are scheduled to

commence later in April 2021 after the snowmelt.

Furthermore, 47 samples were taken from the various bags of the bulk sample which are located at Ortech. These samples

were sent for assay testing to allow for a more accurate grade estimation of the bulk sample taken from the Vallée Lithium

Project to the east of the North American Lithium mine.

In March 2021, the Company exercised an option (the “Option”) to acquire a property known as the La Corne lithium property,

which is adjacent to Jourdan’s other lithium mining properties located north of Val d’Or, Quebec. For more information about

the Option, please see the Company’s press release dated March 25, 2021, which is available on the Company’s SEDAR

profile at www.sedar.com.

Jourdan is also pleased to announce that it recently received notice from the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources

(Quebec) that the area of land subject to four of its claims located at the southeast corner of its Baillargé lithium property has

been extended by application of law.

The Company also announces today that it has entered into a settlement agreement effective April 5, 2021 (“ Settlement

Agreement ”) with Infinite Ore Corp. (“Infinite”) in connection with an option agreement dated April 17, 2017, as amended on

June 1, 2020 (together, the “ Option Agreement ”). Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Infinite granted an option to Jourdan

(the “Option”) to acquire a 100% interest in Infinite’s 145 claim Preissac-Lacorne lithium portfolio (the “Portfolio”). Please see

the Company’s press releases dated May 9, 2017, May 16, 2017 and June 3, 2020 for more information about the Option,

which are available on the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

Shortly following Jourdan’s decision to exercise the Option, the Company learned that all of the claims comprising the Portfolio

(the “Claims”) had expired and had since been re-staked by a third party. The Company conducted an internal investigation

and discovered that, as a result of insufficient funding, Jourdan’s prior management had failed to maintain the claims in good

standing. Consequently, the Company and Infinite commenced discussions with a view to settling any issues between the

parties in relation to the lapsed Claims.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Infinite and Jourdan agreed to a mutual release of claims and to settle any and all

issues between the parties relating to the Option Agreement in exchange for the Company issuing to Infinite 4.5 million of its

common shares (the “Common Shares ”) at a deemed price of $0.06 per share, based on the closing price of the shares on

the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) on April 9, 2021 (the “Settlement ”).

The Settlement remains subject to the approval of the TSXV. In accordance with applicable securities laws, the Common

Shares issued pursuant to the Settlement will be subject to a four month and one day hold period.
